Denial is like when Donald Trump goes to Las Vegas yesterday, and he's asked by the press whether or not Vice President Kamala Harris has gotten under his skin because she's doing much better in the polls, her crowd sizes are much bigger, and oh, her ratings, 22% more people watched her speak at the Democratic National Convention than watched Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention. Oh, and her fundraising, she raised over $100 million at the DNC. So

denial is when Donald Trump is asked a simple question and here is how he responds. Play the clip. There's a widespread perception that Kamala Harris replacing Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket has thrown you off your game, gotten under your skin. What do you say to that? No, I think we're doing great. I think we're leading. We just had a respuse and we're up by five. We're doing, I think, very well. What is is unfair is that he it's unfair to him but it's also unfair to me i was leading by 17 or 18 points after the debate and they said you know he's going to lose and they went and told him you're going to lose we want to replace you crazy nancy pelosi went in with a group with obama and with others but they went in with a group and they said you

know we want you out. And they took him out, and it was a bad thing to do. But also unfair to me. I spent $100 million fighting against the man that won in their party, and we had a debate, and the debate was good for me, it wasn't good for him. And then all of a sudden they take him out and they put somebody new in that never got a vote.

She didn't get a single vote. He got 14 million votes. She got none. So I'm running against her. Now we're up in the polls. We're winning on the swing states. But, you know, I've got to beat two people instead of one. That never happened either.

So it's not a very fair thing. But I live with it. So let's talk about the facts, though, Donald. This is from Nate Silver. Nate Silver, of all people, says we are already seeing a convention bounce for Vice President Kamala Harris. And this is from data before her speech last night. Take a look right here at Nate Silver's model that has Vice President Kamala Harris up by

more than four, approaching her being up more than five. I wouldn't be surprised if she's up closer to seven or eight very soon in his model. We can take a look at the average national presidential polling model brought to you by Polling USA. And right over here in this most recent model, you have Vice President Kamala Harris up four. We can then also go to the 538 percentage model, which has Vice President Kamala Harris winning 58 times out of 100 and Trump winning 41 times out of 100. And this doesn't even factor in the bounce that is expected from the DNC. Oh, should we talk about ratings? Vice President Kamala Harris beat Donald Trump in people watching her acceptance speech by 22%.

Should we talk about the most recent Fairleigh Dickinson University poll, where Vice President Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump by seven? Should we talk about what ActBlue announced, that over $100 million was donated to Vice President Kamala Harris during the DNC? We can talk about that. You see, folks, denial is more than just a river in Egypt. I'll show you another example of denial after Vice President Kamala Harris gave a historic, historic speech at the DNC when Donald Trump called Fox and ranted and raved like an absolute lunatic.

Even the host at Fox had to say to Donald Trump, look, you're losing. You're losing the voters. What are you going to do to adjust? And Trump goes, I'm not losing. I'm not losing. Denial. It's more than just a river in Egypt. Play the clip.

Let me ask you this, sir. There's been a huge appeal and momentum for women voters. She's trying to pull that, the youth vote, the Hispanic vote, the black vote back in her direction. Polls show that she's having some success in that at this point. So what are you going to do? What's your strategy to rebuild the momentum that you had with those voters? No, she's not having success. I'm having success. I'm doing great with the Hispanic voters. I'm doing great with black men. I'm doing great with women because women

want safety. They want safety and they don't have safety when they have somebody allowing 20 million people into our country many of them very dangerous people no it's only in your eyes that they have that bartha uh we're doing very well in the polls we're leading in most of the polls and in in the um swing states we're leading in almost every one of them mr president let me interrupt the auto workers are voting for me because you're not going to have an auto industry if she gets elected. They're going to all electric cars. Here we have another model by 538 has Vice President Kamala Harris taking her biggest lead yet up 3.6%. And here's a video

of Trump supporters reacting to Vice President Kamala Harris' speech by taking a sledgehammer and hitting their TV. Seems like something MAGA would do. Play the clip. No survivors of crime. No way. From murdering them. No one should be able to fight alone. Kamala Harris will never be my president! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Jesus Christ! No! Please! Now, one of the moments that I think is my favorite moment, one of my favorite moments, a lot of great moments at the DNC, is this portion on how to pronounce Vice President Kamala Harris's name. Let's just take a look right here. Play this clip. Okay, so listen. It's come to my attention that there are some folks who struggle or pretend to struggle with the proper pronunciation of our future president's name. So hear me out. Confusion is understandable. Disrespect is not. So tonight, we are going to help everyone get it right. Here to help me are some very special guests. Thank you, ladies. Can you tell us your names? Hello, ladies.

Can you tell us your names? Hello, everybody. My name's Amara. And my name is Leela, her little sister. And what are you here to do? To teach you how to say your auntie's name. Okay. So how do you pronounce it?

First you say comma like a common sentence. Then you say la like la la la la la. Put it together and it's one, two, three. Comma la. All right, so let's practice. Let's practice. Everybody over here say comma. Comma la. Everybody over here say la. Everybody over here say la. Together.

For president! So Donald, you can say you want to call her whatever name you want to, but when you see children acting more mature than you, I think it speaks volumes. So I think those children acted mature. But let's take a look at how you act. Play the clip. Radical, liberal Kamala Harris gets in. And by the way, there are numerous ways of saying her name. They were explaining to

me, you can say Kamala, you can say Kamala. I said, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter what I say. I couldn't care less if I mispronounce it or not. I couldn't care less. Some people think I mispronounce it on purpose, but actually I've heard it said about seven different ways. There are a lot of ways. There are a lot of ways. And so, as I've always said before, Donald Trump is exactly how we would teach our children not to act objectively. If someone behaved the way he did in any single aspect, we would warn, we would not want our kids to behave that way. Let's take a look about other things where I think that there's major denial. Donald Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance.

I just want to show you this moment because to me, the difference here is staggering. Simple interactions. Governor Walz ordering food, going into a local community, looking authentic. J.D. Vance can't order a donut. Look at how we made this video on Minds Touch. I got to give our editorial team credit. They produce, they make my job easy with the way they produce these video clips. Here, show this clip. We really came just to go to Runza, and then we did a little rally on the side, but we had a little extra time. If you don't know, the iconic Nebraska restaurant is the Runza. Don't call it anything else except for Runza.

The bread consistency, all of it really matters. I got the Swiss and mushroom is kind of a classic. The cheese is solid. You can be a little bit creative, but this is it. If you're going to go to Nebraska, if you're going to go to a Nebraska football game, if you're just going to be a good person, you stop at Runza. I think it's the bread consistency. Get this guy on TV for Runza. Thanks for the work you're doing. Matters. Appreciate it. Thanks, everybody. Pleasure to meet you all. Wow. The Zoom has come to town. Thank you for letting us come in here. Yes, sir. I guess, I'll tell her. I'm sorry, babe?

I'm sorry. I'll tell her. Okay, yeah. She doesn't want to be on film, guys, so just cut her out of anything. Appreciate that, man.

I'll give you the answer. I'm sorry, for the last person who didn't see it. Okay. How long have you been working?

How many years since the beginning of your life? Okay. What is your Okay, good. How much do you serve? Almost two years. Okay, good. How long has it been, sir? Uh, almost two years. Okay, good.

Just everything, yeah, I mean, a lot of glazed here, some sprinkled stuff, some of these cinnamon rolls, just whatever makes sense. How long has this place been around? About four years. About four years? Okay. How long have you been here?

A little over six months. Okay, good. How much do you think you're paying in subscriptions every single month? I think the answer is probably more than you think.

And she's basically echoing what I'm saying. I may be echoing what she's saying, where she says, can we just take a look at the facts here? The raw, hard numbers here, play the clip.

Vegas and the evidence of how well she did was in cold hard facts in ratings, Trump's favorite thing, 22% up from Donald Trump's acceptance speech. 7.2 million raised between 11 p.m. and midnight over the course of the entire week. ActBlue says over $100 million came in for Democratic candidates, organizations. There was a panel of undecided Pennsylvania voters, a focus group, eight of them in there. Six, after watching the speech, are now going with Kamala Harris.

Those are all hard facts that show that she did a really good job. We know about the enthusiasm being up. We know about the polls going in her direction. Love that clip right there. Love that clip right here. And then so yesterday, Donald Trump continued to rant and rave like a lunatic. He spoke earlier in the day in Vegas, later in the day he spoke in Arizona and it was the same shtick. Barack Hussein Obama's mean to me. Michelle Obama's mean, they're mean to me. They're mean, they're being mean. Here, play the clip. No, they get bored. Like Barack Hussein Obama got far fewer votes the second time, and he won. He won.

Have you heard of him, Barack Hussein Obama? Remember Rush Limbaugh? Barack Hussein Obama. He was nasty to me. You know, he was nasty. Michelle was nasty. They're all nasty. Nasty people. They were very nasty.

I was surprised. I thought he was, and I was sort of nice to him. I said, no, you know, I like him. It didn't matter. They were nasty to me. And of course, you know, I like them, good, it didn't matter. They were nasty to me. And of course, come on, grow up, behave like an adult. Speaking of which, this is the part where Donald Trump's in Glendale, Arizona, and he literally kicks the veteran police officer off stage for talking too long.

Look how pissed off Trump gets when this guy's talking too long. Again, this is the head of the Arizona, one of the Arizona police unions, play the clip. Flowing into this country at an alarming rate with only five descent being intercepted at the border. Got it. Folks, let me finish up here, please. Similarly, take a look at right here. When Carrie Lake was speaking, Donald Trump has them send her messages. Wrap up. Donald Trump wants to look at this.

Wrap ASAP. Please get off the stage. Please get off the stage now. Donald Trump is waiting. Get off the stage. Get get off the stage now. Donald Trump is waiting. Get off the stage. Get off the stage right now. You can't make this stuff up. So, you know, I guess you got to say like, well, what is Fox doing about this?

One of their new things that they're doing is they're going, Governor Walz, is he being groomed by China? Is Governor Walz being groomed by China? Come on, play this clip. And has China been grooming Governor Walz being groomed by China? Come on, play this clip. And has China been grooming Tim Walz? Well, we're trying to find out exactly what the FBI has on Tim Walz with respect to China. Everyone in business knows that China steals our intellectual property. They steal our patents. They manipulate their currency. They do anything they can to have a competitive advantage in business. Those of us in government know that China has done everything they can to disrupt and corrupt

our U.S. government. The way we operate, we know that they have tried to groom people in the military. We know that they've created police spy stations in the major cities, in the blue cities all around the United States. We know a lot of this activity is based out of Minnesota. We know that Tim Waltz has made several trips during his life to China. We know he spent a year there. We know he went on his honeymoon there. Like aren't these tactics so transparently amateurish at this point? Like, doesn't it look like stop doing Kim Jong-un in America? Stop doing this North Korea crap here in the United States of America. Like, we're so much better than that here.

And it's so wild to see that. So I figure I'll show you this clip right here, because to me, this represents some of the best of America, some of the best of our country. Vice President Kamala Harris played this clip. We must be worthy of this moment. It is now our turn to do what generations before us have done, guided by optimism and faith to fight for this country we love, to fight for the ideals we cherish, and to uphold the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on earth, the privilege and pride of being an American.

So let's get out there. Let's fight for it, let's get out there, let's vote for it, and together let us write the next great chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told. Thank you. God bless you and may God bless the United States of America. Thank you. Or this photo of Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, and Governor Walz, and his wife, Gwen. I mean, look at the joy that is radiating from this. Just look at the joy. I'll share this with you as well. This is Adam Kinzinger. Here's what he had to say. Play the clip. Independence, people on the fence are undecided who were out there in the television

audience listening. What do you think the impact of her speech is tonight? Look, I thought her speech was good. Here's actually really good. But here's what I thought was interesting is Donald Trump has ceded so much ground that used to be traditionally Republican ground. So let's talk about national defense, Ukraine. This is all stuff Donald Trump should have been talking about at his convention if he was a little more of a traditional Republican.

Kamala came in and took that ground. I mean, she wasn't scared to do like kind of the, well, we don't want to get to, she took the ground on immigration. She reminded people that he tanked the immigration bill. She took the ground on Ukraine. And I think if you're a undecided Republican out there, you look and you're like,

it has to be tough for me to not vote for Kamala now because she literally gave me the things that I was concerned about. I give DL Uli a shot, Uli a shot to play this clip right here. I can tell you this, I don't blame Donald Trump for not wanting to debate Kamala. I've been married to a black woman for 40 years and I ain't won one debate. I'm owing 93,000. Now, of course, Trump is saying that Kamala isn't black. I guarantee you

this, Kamala's been black a lot longer than Trump's been a Republican. And if he keeps sliding in the polls the way he is, the only thing, the only way to keep Kamala out of the White House is if he buys it and refuses to rent it to her. Of course Kamala's getting broad support. They got black men for Kamala, white men for Kamala, Latinos and Asians for Kamala. They even have Republicans for Kamala. Republicans for Kamala. I guess Donald Trump will finally know what it's like when you get left for a younger woman. Well, there you have it, folks. Thank you so much for watching.
